Unpacking iterables in Python
Python tip:
You can unpack any iterable to variables as long as the number of variables is the same as the number of elements in the iterable.
Examples👇
a, b, c = (1, 2, 3) print(a, b, c) # => 1 2 3 a, b, c, d = (1, 2, 3, 4) print(a, b, c, d) # => 1 2 3 4 a, b = {1, 2} print(a, b) # => 1 2 a, b = {'a': 1, 'b': 2} print(a, b) # => a b a, b, c = (i for i in range(1, 4)) print(a, b, c) # => 1 2 3 a, b, c = (1, 2) print(a, b, c) # => ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2) a, b, c = (1, 2, 3, 4) print(a, b, c) # => ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)
